<br />MEMO <br /> <br />Date: 1 February 2005 <br /> <br />To: Mayor Capra and Council Members <br />From: Paul Palzer, Public Works Director/Building Official -W <br /> <br />Re: Replacement of pickup trucks <br />......................................................................... <br /> <br />The Council has appropriated $15,000.00 in the 2005 budget for replacement of pickup <br />trucks. The city agreed last year to replace the trucks on a yearly basis if feasible. The <br />new 2004 Chevy pickups currently have roughly 2500 miles on them and should be <br />under 6000 miles by June. Based on this mileage, the City should be able to sell them at <br />our original cost including tax and licensing. The identical 2005 models are selling for <br />about $200.00 more. To replace the three 2004 Chevy's should cost the City less than <br />$1,000.00. I also propose to replace the 2001 Ford with a new chevy pickup. The <br />difference between the Kelley blue book and 2005 price is about $9,000.00. The City <br />should be able to replace all four trucks for less than the $15,000.00 that was budgeted. <br />Annually the City should be able to continue this program and replace the vehicles for <br />less that $500.00 each. This saves the city a tremendous amount of money annually on <br />vehicle costs plus all of the vehicles are under warranty and do not require any tire or <br />brake service. I'm requesting the Council approve the replacement of the four City <br />pickups with new ones purchased through the state procurement contract and sell the <br />existing pickups at the Kelly Blue Book value of $16,400.00 for the 2001 Ford, <br />$25,000.00 for the two 2004 % ton Chevy's and $40,000.00 for the 2004 1 ton Chevy. <br />The cost of the three new 2005 Chevy 2500 extended cab short box trucks is $22,943.00 <br />plus tax and license totaling about $24,835.00 each. The 2005 CMC 3500 with a utility <br />box and plow will cost about $42,000.00 <br /> <br />'PJ \ ~ ~ C,\ C~vi <br /> <br />,~ ~ (pc"o A Ut e I~ 0:,) ~ <br />--..:;.Ov<-oP - C01o.JC-C/lvV (~ o "^- <br />,4L"CS h -.svU- lJ ",CJ <"~ =:'JJ <br />O",;{, <:"'/<14 1 <br />1",(,~.t it :y ~ ..... <br />1- tf....-<J+ f'r-.r..- ISJ<A.t"_ <br /> <br />1 <br />()- <br /> <br />/ kG~~ <br />(f(AdC~ ~ <br />
